Come discover the excitement of international diplomacy at our annual PACKMUN event - now virtual!
The internationally recognized SIMUN team would like to offer middle school students the opportunity to engage in highly interactive diplomacy, negotiation, and leadership. Students do not need any experience to participate. SIMUN students will chair each virtual committee and help delegates with preparation.
Students may register as an individual. There is no charge for participation.
Model United Nations is an activity that engages students in simulations of the work of the United Nations and other international organizations like NATO, the EU, and the African Union by representing countries, debating issues, and negotiating solutions to the most pressing problems of the day.
